Sometimes we might think that (since we are saved by God's grace) He does not care about the good things we do. Some even use Isaiah 64:6 out of context to say that even our good deeds are "filthy rags" to Him. If this were true it would be devastatingly discouraging!
When trying to encourage Christians to remain true to the faith that they professed, the writer of the book of Hebrews said, "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them" (Hebrews 6:10). This means that the things we choose to do MATTER to God!
People have no doubt that God pays attention to the bad things they do, but they rarely talk about the fact that He also notices the GOOD that we do. Maybe we should talk about that more.
What good things will God see you doing today?
